This candle arch depicting a miner with a miner’s lamp and illuminated coat of arms above is another beautiful arch from the Klaus Kolbe manufactory, lovingly handcrafted with an eye for detail.
For many years, candle arches have adorned windows at Christmas time, conjuring up a cozy and contemplative light that invites you to linger.
This candle arch tells the story of the Ore Mountains – from the hard work of mining to the world-famous toy industry. The focal point is the tunnel entrance, an arched entrance symbolizing access to a mine shaft. It recalls the dark, narrow passages in which miners worked under extreme conditions. Within the central motif, you can see a miner laboriously chipping ore from the rock with a hammer. Next to him, a miner’s lamp shines, bringing light into the darkness and illustrating the difficult working conditions.
The structure of the candle arch is inspired by the beams of a mine shaft entrance. Two curved arches imitate the wooden support beams that provided stability in mines. The dark, glittering decoration along the arches symbolizes the rock in which the valuable ore was encased. Electric candles arranged along the arches create a warm glow reminiscent of the traditional Christmas custom of placing candles in windows.
The candle arch also features figures such as toymakers and woodworkers, symbolizing the transition from mining to woodworking. These scenes illustrate how the people of the Ore Mountains used their ingenuity to create a new livelihood.
The tunnel entrance, as a central element, represents the connection between the world above ground and the arduous work underground. It recalls the difficult conditions under which miners worked and symbolizes the people’s diligence and determination.
This candle arch is more than just a Christmas decoration. It combines tradition, history, and craftsmanship, and its light invites you to appreciate the rich past of the Ore Mountains.
